ing pink jerseys, socks, arm bands, etc.
Buzzmaker Alli Prater’s video showed

Katherine Huey, who worked
the final 3 1/3 innings, allow
ing a run on two hits, as South
took Game 2, 3-2.
“Our backs were up against
the wall,” South coach Ronnie
Davis said. “After Game 1, our
girls maybe wanted to hang
their heads a little bit, but I
told them, ‘You’ve worked too
hard to give in when you’ve
gotten this far, and we’ve got
another game to play right
here.””
Jordyn Harris scored Amy
Kilmer with a double in the
second inning of Game 2 after
Ablan (6 IP, 3H, 3R, 9K in
Game 2) hit Kilmer with a
pitch. Emily Harris hit a solo
home run to right-center in the
third and celebrated so jubi
lantly that she had to go back
to touch second base. Sofia
Tapia added the final run in the
fifth when she singled, stole
second and scored from there
when Brookwood made an
errant throw to first on Emily
Harris’ bunt.
The way Ablan pitched in
Game 1, it would have been
understandable for the Lady
War Eagles to feel discour
aged. Ablan, committed to
play at the University of
Georgia and the Gwinnett

pitcher of the year, struck out
five of the first six hitters she
retired, seven of the first nine
and struck out the side in order
twice.
“We were overmatched in
our first round series last year,”
Davis said. “The group this
year, we know we can play
with anybody. The game
hasn’t changed, it’s just that, as
you get to this point in the sea
son, the competition steps up
and people take advantage of
mistakes.”
Bilodeau notched two of the
biggest outs of the Lady War
Eagles’ season in the first
inning of Game 2. Brookwood
loaded the bases on two walks
and an error, but Bilodeau
struck out Chelsea Twardoski
and Hannah Mason. In the
third, Brookwood’s Kamryn
Tillman scored Danna Downs
with a double that struck half
way up the maroon-and-gold
fence in left-center. The Lady
Broncos had runners on sec
ond and third, but Bilodeau
again struck out Twardoski and
got Mason to ground out to
end the threat.
Davis started to give
Bilodeau more opportunities in
the circle as South worked
through its 18-game Region
6-AAAAAA schedule, partial
ly to rest Huey and partially to
get Bilodeau ready to pitch in
big games if necessary. The
sophomore did what the Lady
War Eagles needed and left

Our new weekly print and video series where local high school
students share “The Buzz” about what's going on at their school.
Every Friday, sports editor Brian Paglia ranks the top 3 “buzzworthy”
moments of the week that were featured in Wednesday's edition. .

2. Forsyth Central gets pink, too
Buzzmaker Erica Fried noticed the pink
around Central this month, from the
football to softball to volleyball teams.
The school has raised some $3,000 for
Northside Hospital.
with a lead in Game 2.
“That first inning in Game 2
was huge, just to let the smoke
from Game 1 settle a bit,”
Davis said. “[Brookwood] had
an opportunity to put a damper
on our night early but Bilodeau
came up with some great
pitches when she had to ... At
times early [in the season] she
struggled with control and did
again tonight, but she stayed
composed the whole time.”
Huey took over for Bilodeau
with two outs and two Lady
Broncos on base in the fourth,
but the Lady War Eagles’ ace
struck out Downs to escape
and set the tone. The sopho
more pitcher started a 1-6-3
double play in the fifth to erase
Tillman’s leadoff single.
“Huey is Huey,” Davis said.
“She’s going to compete and
she’s going to find a way to get
it done.”
That was plain to see in the
seventh with South nursing a
3-2 lead and needing three
outs to force Game 3.
Brookwood leadoff hitter
Kayla Louie started the inning
with a walk and stole second.
Huey struck out Downs.
Tillman roped a line drive
straight to center fielder
Stephanie Harris for the sec
ond out, and Ablan grounded
out to third base.
“Both us and Brookwood
had chances to get more runs,
but strikeouts, good defensive
plays kept it close,” Davis said.

3. South makes a STATE-ment
See what | did there? No? Let me
explain. Or, actually, buzzmaker Erin
Loggins explained how South's soft
ball and volleyball teams are the only
ones in the county still competing in
the state playoffs.
“That’s what you expect this
time of year ... we could have
given in multiple times
tonight.”
Huey was a hard-luck loser
in Game 1 (6 IP, S H, 1 R),
though she did get help from
her defense to keep the Lady
Broncos at just one run. In the
sixth, Brookwood put runners
at first and second with no
outs. Chelsea Twardoski
pushed a line drive bunt to the
first baseman Bilodeau, who
caught it, stepped on first to
double off Ablan and alertly
threw behind the runner at sec
ond for a triple play.
South’s best scoring chance
in Game 1 didn’t come until
the seventh inning, when
Maddie Clawson and Kilmer
singled back-to-back and
Jordyn Harris bunted them to
second and third with two
outs. Ablan started Tapia with
a ball but fought back and got
the South catcher to wave at a
nasty breaking ball for strike
three and a 1-0 series lead.
With a night’s rest, it was
likely to be Ablan, the Georgia
commit, against Huey, the
Purdue commit, at 6 p.m. on
Thursday in Snellville. The
winner heads to Columbus for
the double-elimination Elite 8.
If South beat Ablan for a
second time in as many days,
the Lady War Eagles won’t be
switching from their blue-shirt,
dark-gray-pant uniform combi
nation any time soon.
